A Simply Delicious Trip to La Fiesta

A Simply Delicious Trip to La Fiesta

The folks who run La Fiesta (7403 Denison Ave., 216-212-3423) in the Stockyards neighborhood, not to be confused with the long-running east-side eatery of the same name, could not be more friendly and accommodating. We were greeted warmly upon entering the restaurant, which occupies the first floor of a building that's been standing in this community since the mid-1800s.
